Mr. Jarvis and his assistant Joe? went into field with me. Looked over lower
section on West flank of WCHs. Mr. Jarvis spotted a fault? in west end of WCHs
better check it because it looks as if #4 in drop to Uddenites Saddle. {note:

bed 1: covered
bed 2: 7/2/57/2; 27'
bed 3: 3'; 7/2/57/1
bed 4: 11'; Uddenities zone
bed 5: 5'; King's gray #2 limestone

CR's Section 20 (GSA M.88)
Section V West end of the WCHs proper - measured N20W from outlier [about
300 yards west of King's Sec 24].
Below covered by out wash - Uddenites zone probably.
1) Limestone conglomerate, with crinoid and brach frags., conglomerate cobbles
1' to 4" diameter. 16', gray outcrop - top surface is near flat, has an inch zone
weathered brown. Many of the crinoid stems are relatively unbroken and
probably have not had a great deal of erosional transport.
2) Covered, 25' - seems to be an interval of gray shale and brown weathering
calcarenite.
3) Calcarenite - Brown weathering, lower surfaces appears to be a disgested ss
[burrowed]. The upper surfaces are finely laminated - 4-6" beds of ss with
interbedded silts and clays, 5'.
4) Shale, blue-gray in part covered 12'.
5) Limestone, similar to #1 below, pebbles are 1/2" in diameter however; Near
top is a good fusuline zone - this horizon divides vertically to the west - the upper
part forming King's bed "4", 16'.

bed 2: 25'
bed 3: 5'
bed 4: 12'
bed 5: 16'; 7/3/57/2; Top of King's #2 (gray) limestone(?)
bed 6: 163'}
6) Covered 163' - How many beds are covered here is only guesswork - The
value of this interval is of comparative proposes only.
7) Limestone, massive gray weathering, a shell hash which shows very little
transportation. Coral, (long slender tetracorals), bryozoans, isolated fusulines,
brachiopods, crinoid stems.
lower 18' massive - upper 5' in 6" to 1' beds. 7/3/57/3 total 23'.
